As part of the SWR
50th Celebration, a number of SWR cavers have volunteered to
perform a service project at the Fort Stanton Quadrangle where there
are a number of historic buildings in need of repairs. Our accepted
assignment was to repair the second floor balcony rails and supports of
Building #9. New Mexico State Monuments is providing the materials for
the Project, and the cavers are providing the labor. Reconstruction and
wood working experts from both State Monuments and others have
discussed the process, materials have been identified and ordered, two
weekends of reconstruction work have been completed, and only a small
touch-up task remains. Stephen Fleming was in charge of the Project and
additional photos will be posted soon to these web pages.
